Abstract: Each \(p\)-ring class field \(K_f\) modulo a \(p\)-admissible conductor \(f\) over a quadratic base field \(K\) with \(p\)-ring class rank \(\varrho_f\) mod \(f\) is classified according to Galois cohomology and differential principal factorization type of all members of its associated heterogeneous multiplet \(\mathbf{M}(K_f)=\lbrack(N_{c,i})_{1\le i\le m(c)}\rbrack_{c\mid f}\) of dihedral fields \(N_{c,i}\) with various conductors \(c\mid f\) having \(p\)-multiplicities \(m(c)\) over \(K\) such that \(\sum_{c\mid f}\,m(c)=\frac{p^{\varrho_f}-1}{p-1}\). The advanced viewpoint of classifying the entire collection \(\mathbf{M}(K_f)\), instead of its individual members separately, admits considerably deeper insight into the class field theoretic structure of ring class fields. The actual construction of the multiplet \(\mathbf{M}(K_f)\) is enabled by exploiting the routines for abelian extensions in the computational algebra system Magma.

Abstract: None can underestimate the importance of mathematical modelling for their role in clarifying dynamics of epidemic diseases. They can project the progress of the disease and demonstrate the result of the epidemic to public health in order to take precautions. HIV attracts global attention due to rising death rates and economic burdens and many other consequences that it leaves behind. Up to date, there is no medicine and vaccine of HIV/AIDS but still many researches are conducted in order to see how to mitigate this epidemic and reduce the death rate or increase the life expectancy of those who are infected. A delayed HIV/AIDS treatment and vertical transmission model has been investigated. The model took into account both infected people from the symptomatics group and asymptomatic group to join AIDS group. We considered that a child can be infected from the mother to an embryo, fetus or childbirth. Those who are infected, it will take them some time to get mature and spread the disease. By using mathematical model, reproduction number, positivity, boundedness, and stability analysis were determined. The results showed that the model is much productive if time delay is considered.

A note on Jeśmanowicz’ conjecture for non-primitive Pythagorean triples

OMS-Vol. 5 (2021), Issue 1, pp. 115 – 127 Open Access Full-Text PDF
Van Thien Nguyen, Viet Kh. Nguyen, Pham Hung Quy
Abstract: Let \((a, b, c)\) be a primitive Pythagorean triple parameterized as \(a=u^2-v^2,\ b=2uv,\ c=u^2+v^2\), where \(u>v>0\) are co-prime and not of the same parity. In 1956, L. Jeśmanowicz conjectured that for any positive integer \(n\), the Diophantine equation \((an)^x+(bn)^y=(cn)^z\) has only the positive integer solution \((x,y,z)=(2,2,2)\). In this connection we call a positive integer solution \((x,y,z)\ne (2,2,2)\) with \(n>1\) exceptional. In 1999 M.-H. Le gave necessary conditions for the existence of exceptional solutions which were refined recently by H. Yang and R.-Q. Fu. In this paper we give a unified simple proof of the theorem of Le-Yang-Fu. Next we give necessary conditions for the existence of exceptional solutions in the case \(v=2,\ u\) is an odd prime. As an application we show the truth of the Jeśmanowicz conjecture for all prime values \(u < 100\).

The Lambert function, the quintic equation and the proactive discovery of the Implicit Function Theorem

OMS-Vol. 5 (2021), Issue 1, pp. 101 – 114 Open Access Full-Text PDF
Silvia Foschi, Daniele Ritelli
Abstract: One of the problems on which a great deal of focus is being placed today, is how to teach Calculus in the presence of the massive diffusion of Computer Algebra tools and online resources among students. The essence of the problem lies in the fact that, during the problem solving activities, almost all undergraduates can be exposed to certain “new” functions, not typically treated at their level. This, without being prepared to handle them or, in some cases, even knowing the meaning of the answer provided by the computer system used. One of these functions is Lambert’s \(W\) function, undoubtedly due to the elementary nature of its definition. In this article we introduce \(W\), in a way that is easy to grasp for first year undergraduate students and we provide some general results concerning polynomial-exponential and polynomial-logarithmic equations. Among the many possible examples of its applications, we will see how \(W\) comes into play in epidemiology in the SIR model. In the second part, using more advanced concepts, we motivate the importance of the Implicit Function Theorem, using it to obtain the power series expansion of the Lambert function around the origin. Based on this approach, we therefore also provide a way to obtain the power series expansion of the inverse of a given smooth function \(f(y)\), when it is assumed that \(f(0)=0,\,f'(0)\neq0\), aided by the computational power of Mathematica®. Basically, in this way, we present an alternative approach to the Lagrange Bürman Inversion Theorem, although in a particular but relevant case, since the general approach is not at an undergraduate level. A number of good references are [1, pp. 23-28] and [2], where the Lambert function is applied. Finally, these skills are used to take into consideration the particular quintic equation in the unknown \(y\) presented by F. Beukers [3]. Namely, we consider \(x(1+y)^5-y=0\) as an example of an equation for which the power series representation of one of its real solutions is known, calculating, with the same method used for the Lambert function, the first terms of its power series representation.

Abstract: Finding root of a nonlinear equation is one of the most important problems in the real world, which arises in the applied sciences and engineering. The researchers developed many numerical methods for estimating roots of nonlinear equations. The this paper, we proposed a new Simpson type method with the help of Simpson 1/3rd rule. It has been proved that the convergence order of the proposed method is two. Some numerical examples are solved to validate the proposed method by using C++/MATLAB and EXCEL. The performance of proposed method is better than the existing ones.

Strong quasi-ordered residuated system

OMS-Vol. 5 (2021), Issue 1, pp. 73 – 79 Open Access Full-Text PDF
Daniel A. Romano
Abstract: The concept of residuated relational systems ordered under a quasi-order relation was introduced in 2018 by S. Bonzio and I. Chajda. In such algebraic systems, we have introduced and developed the concepts of implicative and comparative filters. In addition, we have shown that every comparative filter is an implicative filter at the same time and that converse it does not have to be. In this article, as a continuation of previous research, we introduce the concept of strong quasi-ordered residuated systems and we show that in such systems implicative and comparative filters coincide. In addition, we show that in such systems the concept of least upper bound for any two pair of elements can be determined.

Inequalities approach in determination of convergence of recurrence sequences

OMS-Vol. 5 (2021), Issue 1, pp. 65 – 72 Open Access Full-Text PDF
Albert Adu-Sackey, Francis T. Oduro, Gabriel Obed Fosu
Abstract: The paper proves convergence for three uniquely defined recursive sequences, namely, arithmetico-geometric sequence, the Newton-Raphson recursive sequence, and the nested/composite recursive sequence. The three main hurdles for this prove processes are boundedness, monotonicity, and convergence. Oftentimes, these processes lie in the predominant use of prove by mathematical induction and also require some bit of creativity and inspiration drawn from the convergence monotone theorem. However, these techniques are not adopted here, rather, as a novelty, extensive use of basic manipulation of inequalities and useful equations are applied in illustrating convergence for these sequences. Moreover, we established a mathematical expression for the limit of the nested recurrence sequence in terms of its leading term which yields favorable results.

Generalized orthopair fuzzy sets based on Hamacher T-norm and T-conorm

OMS-Vol. 5 (2021), Issue 1, pp. 44 – 64 Open Access Full-Text PDF
I. Silambarasan
Abstract: The concept of q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets generalizes the notions of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and Pythagorean fuzzy sets to describe complicated uncertain information more effectively. Their most dominant attribute is that the sum of the \(q^{th}\) power of the truth-membership and the \(q^{th}\) power of the falsity-membership must be equal to or less than one, so they can broaden the space of uncertain data. This set can adjust the range of indication of decision data by changing the parameter \(q, ~q\geq 1\). In this paper, we define the Hamacher operations of q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and proved some desirable properties of these operations, such as commutativity, idempotency, and monotonicity. Further, we proved De Morgan’s laws for these operations over complement. Furthermore, we defined the Hamacher scalar multiplication \(({n._{h}}A)\) and Hamacher exponentiation \((A^{\wedge_{h}n})\) operations on q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and investigated their algebraic properties. Finally, we defined the necessity and possibility operators based on q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and some properties of Hamacher operations that are considered.
